Although Khabib Nurmagomedov does not actively compete in MMA anymore, he has been working behind the scenes to help the growth of MMA as a sport around the world. Towards the end of last year, it was announced that ‘The Eagle’ acquired an MMA promotion and rebranded it ‘Eagle Fighting Championship’. He aims that the promotion will serve as a platform for up-and-coming fighters and will ultimately add as a feeder to the UFC.
The most recent event of his promotion was held in Kazan, Russia. Following the event, Nurmagomedov took to Instagram to share his thoughts. He said, “Many thanks @tatneft_official for organizing and conducting our tournament @eaglefcmmain Kazan. Also, as part of this trip, I visited the city of Almetyevsk, where I met and talked with young athletes and examined the sports complexes of this city. Trust me, we will return to Tatarstan more than once with tournaments, and I also plan to open my own gym in Kazan. See you soon friends”

Most notably, Islam Makhachev takes on Thiago Moises in a bid to extend his win streak to 8-0. If he were to win the fight, it would be hard to deny him a title shot or a title eliminator fight. However, if he slips up against Moises, it will be a while before he can mount another title challenge again. Therefore, there is a lot on the line for Khabib and his teammates in the month of July.
